Certainly shop bought chef knives are about 200mm. Its quite hard to find a 240mm chef knife in the uk actually. Yep your right I need a 200mm chef knife to get people interested in hand made kitchen knives. The large knives just don't seem practical to those who have not tried them?

1. Looks like you are catering to them ladies.. They are terrified of pointy stuff in case they get poked.SO you have to consider your profile. Your survey is right. I think some german makers do not have 210mm but 200mm.

Being shorter, you may also have to reconsider the handle for the balance.. not fat handles too.

2.I am most ready to try a piece for my grandma...

3. NOt being very familiar with knives.. the first thing they look at is the appeal and then the balance. Due to bad experience any too pointy stuff does does not turn them on..
